    cleaning coraline spots

    Originally posted by ReefNut If your tank is glass a razor blade will work. I use a credit card most of the time. Does take some scrubbing sometimes. Razor blade. Just be careful not to scratch the glass. You will end up small cuts in the glass where algae can/will grow and you won't be...

    Awful glad I found this MB

    Welcome to the board ablincoln01! You always have to take into consideration that advise from lfs doesn't help them pay the bills. They need to sell you something to keep the lights on. Now that the cycle has started, do what you are doing now while things are settling down. Read, ask...
